Numbering not read for new or blank items in a list in Word with UIA enabled #13462

@Qchristensen

Description

@Qchristensen

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Have UIA enabled in NVDA's Advanced settings
  2. Open a blank document in Microsoft Word
  3. Type "1. " (one, dot, space), then type something.
  4. Press ENTER.
  5. Press NVDA+up arrow / NVDA+l to read the current line
  6. Type something
  7. Press NVDA+up arrow / NVDA+l to read the current line

Actual behavior:

At step 4, the focus moves to a new line, Word automatically adds "2. ". NVDA does not report anything.
At Step 5, NVDA reports "blank".
At step 7, NVDA report "2. text" (where text is whatever you typed).

With UIA disabled:
At step 4, NVDA reads "two dot"
At step 5, NVDA reports "two blank".
At step 7, NVDA reports "2. text" (the same as with UIA enabled).

Expected behavior:

NVDA should read the numbering the same as it does with UIA disabled.
